And all you beginning healers, maybe healers, or sort of wondering if you are healers, please be open to the possibility. This world need you!

Are you a burned out healer or a healer who is transitioning to a new stage in your healing practice?, Do you need someone to work through the process with?

I mentor a lot of healers, on various paths. I respect all paths and often say, “one water, many wells.” I have no interest in branding my work or finding disciples. After more than 30 years doing this work I have experience, perspective, and a desire to help.

This work can be done face-to-face or over the phone.

Please email me if you would like to know more: lindanadeau33@gmail.com

I am sorry to have been away so long. I hope you are still out there and that things are going well for you. A few kind folks have been reminding me that I promised some events. The first of the new year seems like a good time to begin. I have planned:

Beginning shamanic journeying on Saturday, January 6, 2018 from 8:00 to 5:00.

Extraction Healing the following Saturday, January 13, 2018 from 8:00 to 5:00.

The fee is $100 per class for $160 for both, payable in advance. Please email me for more information. This will also allow me to take a count to select a suitable venue. If it is a small group we can do it here at my home, otherwise I will rent a larger space.

Please let me know other interests you may have. I am open to sharing some of what I have learned in the last 32 years exploring this path.

Also, please share this with anyone you think might be interested. Since I closed my meetup group this is the only place I am posting this information.

I was reminded this morning that not all of you follow my meetup so haven’t seen this invitation. I’m having a pot luck dinner at my house at 5:00 PM and a drumming circle honoring our power animals at 7:00 PM tomorrow, Saturday, December 17. You can look at my Santa Cruz Shaman Meetup or give me a call to get details. Linda (408-888-3245).

Bring your drum or rattle or borrow one of mine. We will do 3 rounds of drumming to facilitate journeying. Two directed journeys and one for your personal intention plus a time for us to share sending healing energy to whom ever you wish to direct it to.
Bring drum, eye cover, mat or cushion.
No cost for this event. Additional info on Meetup under Santa Cruz Shaman Meetup

It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing.

It doesn’t interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love, for your dream, for the adventure of being alive.

It doesn’t interest me what planets are squaring your moon. I want to know if you have touched the centre of your own sorrow, if you have been opened by life’s betrayals or have become shrivelled and closed from fear of further pain.

I want to know if you can sit with pain, mine or your own, without moving to hide it, or fade it, or fix it.

I want to know if you can be with joy, mine or your own; if you can dance with wildness and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful, be realistic, remember the limitations of being human.

It doesn’t interest me if the story you are telling me is true. I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself. If you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul. If you can be faithless and therefore trustworthy.

I want to know if you can see Beauty even when it is not pretty every day. And if you can source your own life from its presence.

I want to know if you can live with failure, yours and mine, and still stand at the edge of the lake and shout to the silver of the full moon, ‘Yes.’

It doesn’t interest me to know where you live or how much money you have. I want to know if you can get up after the night of grief and despair, weary and bruised to the bone and do what needs to be done to feed the children.

It doesn’t interest me who you know or how you came to be here. I want to know if you will stand in the centre of the fire with me and not shrink back.

It doesn’t interest me where or what or with whom you have studied. I want to know what sustains you from the inside when all else falls away.

I want to know if you can be alone with yourself and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments.
